Beautiful People 8 - mean

In my first beautiful people post I explained how I had to get used to drawing someone before my caricatures became cartoony.

Here are some I did the other night when I was in a particularly mean mood I guess.

Note how they have less details and are more exaggerated than my earlier versions of the same people.

It took me a long time to get a caricature of this girl that I thought was decent. I have a ton of practice shots. Maybe I'll put 'em up later so you can see the progression.

I did this one for Katie because she loves to do her and has funny theories about her head.

Hey, thanks for all the great comments on the last Barber shop post! You people are amazingly observant! I think I will collect up my favorite comments and include them with the next Barber post.

Tomorrow you get a special treat! I'm gonna feature some great background paintings from Kristy Gordon. She was the key BG stylist on some new Ren and Stimpy cartoons.I'll give you some notes on them too in case you want to try painting for me sometime.

Just got here through Blogger Buzz and I think it's totally absolutly freakin awesome here. XD'Ren & Stimpy' is one of my old time favourite cartoons, andIm just loving all th other work you put up here.

Jennifer Aniston is AHMAAAAAAZING!!! naah they aint mean!! wait till you get really emotional over obnoxious housemates!! That really does spill the beans~~!

Backgrounds would indeed be an absolute treat!!! THey are COmpletely underrated!!Hey, what did Victoria Jenson (jenson????) do with RnS? was she a "supervisor" (or sumin) or did she paint too?? (sorry, ignoramos yet CuriOs over here!!)

These are easily some of the best yet, and I've been lookin' at your caricatures from day one of the blog. Your really honed in on the aspects of the faces that makes the celebrities them, and then took them to the Nth degree. Sometimes I have difficulty telling who you're caricaturing, but not on this one.

I think the best drawings are done when the artist has some sort of connection to the subject. That may be laothing, love, general faciantion or hate.Passive disinterest does not a good drawing make. It's good to crack yourself up doing one of these images I think. Great fantastic stuff.

Love the completely raw approach to your celebs... it's always fun to see how far you can push it. I posted some of my celebs on my page.... after seeing yours though I'm definitely going to work on pushing it harder.
